<div class="field field-name-field-answer field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> <p>Yes you can use semiautomatice rifles to hunt deer during the general season. Fully automatic weapons are of course illegal. I don't know if you'd need a semi-automatic rifle since a bolt action is the best to use for the reasons that it is simple, reliable, and safe. Unless you feel that a quick follow up shot is absolutely necessary I'd advise you to stick with a bolt action rifle for deer. You can make a follow up shot quick enough. Just don't hunt until you know you can consistenly hit the animal in the vital area thus making a follow up shot unnecessary.</p>

<div class="field field-name-field-answer field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> <p>Good question. Older does are less likely to produce young and therefore provide less reproductive value to the herd. However, it is difficult to determine age of a standing deer. You already mentioned the doe without a fawn method, but that too is difficult and not fool proof as a doe may have a fawn you don't notice, or she may have lost a fawn to predators or other causes. Older does also might have more body fat if they are not stressed due to lactation energy requirements, and may be better for the table. Fawns and yearlings might be considered the highest quality table fare, though they don't provide as much meat in the freezer. Some hunters believe shooting a fawn is wrong somehow. However, biologically populations always produces many more young than needed to sustain the herd and many would likely die anyway, thus harvest of a fawn is more likely compensatory mortality and not as important to the herd as harvesting an adult. All these are choices that you may or may not be able to make when the decision is required. It is good to remember that IDFG provides doe harvest opportunity when there are more deer than needed to sustain the herd and to stimulate growth rates of stagnant herds. Harvest of females, contrary to what many people believe, can actually stimulate growth of a population by reducing competition for feed, increasing survival rates, and harvesting non reproductive females. Most populations in Idaho where harvest of females is allowed are much more productive than those that don't. My advice to you is don't worry too much about what the perfect animal is to harvest. Does of any age usually are excellent table fare as long as they are properly taken care of in the field and at home. Good luck and enjoy your hunt!</p>

<div class="field field-name-field-answer field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> <p>The short answer is yes you will need to tag the deer if you are keeping any part of it. While not common there are times when folks are unable to track down the animal they have mortally wounded prior to nightfall. In your case where you returned the following day and were able to locate the animal it is unfortunate that the coyotes had found it during the night and devoured it. However this is part of hunting. As is shot placement, selection, passing up shots in low light and tracking skills. I appreciate your ethical and lawful decision to tag the animal. If you are retaining and/or taking any part of the animal into your possession, head, antlers, meat or hide this is the correct step to take. The unethical sportsman might leave what was left of the animal and continue to hunt for an additional deer but in reality he has already harvested his deer.</p>

<p>The rule states it is illegal to hunt big game with the use of bait (except for bear and wolf). Bait here is defined as something placed to attract wildlife.</p>
<p>However, many ranchers use salt blocks to manage cattle movement within an allotment. If the salt was placed for livestock and not to attract wildlife, it would be legal to hunt over.</p>
<p>If you find a salt block in the forest you will have to make that ethical decision whether you believe that salt was left for livestock or whether it was placed as bait to wildlife.</p>
<p>There is not a legal distance associated with the baiting law. The intent of the law is to prohibit hunting if the salt was placed to attract wildlife and if that salt has influenced or enticed wildlife on a path that allows the hunter the advantage.</p>

If possible before doing anything else, for your safety, be sure you are not blocking traffic. If the animal is dead, you may want to move off the traffic lane. If the animal is wounded and alive, please notify your nearest Conservation Officer, Fish and Game office or local law enforcement. Do not attempt to dispatch the animal yourself.</p>
<p>ITD Highway Engineers and IDFG Biologists are interested in knowing which sections of Idaho’s highways are most dangerous for both motorists and wildlife. That is why both agencies have collaborated in building a database to record road kill information. Armed with this information, highway engineers can work with biologist to design safer roadways for motorists and better wildlife crossings like the wildlife underpass on Hwy 20 near Lucky Peak Reservoir.</p>
<p>If you are aware of a road kill, note the date, and location either by address or Hwy and mile post marker. If you use the online feature, you can use the mapping feature to pin drop the location. Also note the species of animal involved, and if possible, be prepared to give as much detail as to its age and gender.</p>
<p>You can enter this information online at the following road kill reporting web site: <a href="https://fishandgame.idaho.gov/ifwis/observations/salvage/">https://fishandgame.idaho.gov/ifwis/observations/salvage/</a></p>
<p>You may also report this same information by phone or in person at your nearest Fish and Game Office or Idaho Transportation Department office.</p>
<p>New rules now allow persons to salvage certain wildlife for personal use. If you wish to salvage certain road kill wildlife you must report them to a Fish and Game office within 24 hours and receive a permit within 10 days. This can be accomplished in one step using the online reporting (same link as above) and indicate you want to salvage the animal. The web page will generate the permit that you can print from your computer. In one step you will help us identify locations of highways that are vulnerable to vehicle wildlife collisions, as well as report and receive your permit to possess certain wildlife to salvage.</p>
<p>A Salvage permit can also be obtained in person at your nearest Fish and Game office. Please take a look at the online reporting page for more information on the rules associated with the salvage of wildlife killed by motor vehicles.</p>
<p>The online reporting and database is not monitored daily by employees and is intended to capture road kill data for future use. Road kill that present a hazard and need to be removed from highways for safety or health reasons, please contact you nearest IDFG or ITD office and report the road kill and ask if it can be removed.</p>

<p>As of the end of 2011 there was an estimated 116 wolves in 16 packs in the Sawtooth Wolf Management Zone (Unit 33, 34, 35, 36, and 39). The estimate in unit 39 was 4 packs with 31 wolves. This number does not represent all wolves that may be found in the Unit (but probably most of the wolves between the North Fork, Middle Fork and South Fork Boise Rivers). There are an additional 2-3 packs that winter in Lowman/Garden Valley but share a summer range with Unit 33/35 and Unit 39. My professional guess for Unit 39 including overlapping wolves would be &lt; 50. </p>

<div class="field field-name-field-answer field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> <p>Most sporting goods stores and archery shops should have grain scales, used for either weighing bullets/powder or arrows. When measuring arrow weight, make sure to include insert, shaft, broadhead, nock, and fletching. Minimum arrow weight for hunting big game in Idaho is 300 grains, but many bowhunters prefer heavier arrows for large animals such as elk to ensure proper penetration.</p>
